Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

Sylvia immediately manipulated the little wave (zombie) to attack Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng also planted plants to defend himself in time, but Sylvia became worried and frowned at Cheng Cheng: "Strange... why aren't the starfruit nuts you planted shooting?"

It seems that although Sylvia appears to be very passionate about Plants vs. Zombies, she actually doesn't know much about the game.

"That's right, the starfruit bullets only fire when the starfruit nut is bitten by a zombie." Cheng Cheng patted Sylvia's head, explaining the game to her.

"Uh-huh!"

Sylvia tried it out, controlling the little wave (zombie) to attack, and it worked! It routed Cheng Cheng's plants...

But, for some reason, I just can't seem to win.

"Magnet-shroom can absorb a zombie's armor, but it can't directly damage a zombie," Cheng Cheng continued to instruct. "That's why I prefer to use Chomper, which can kill a zombie in one bite."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Yes, that's right." Cheng Cheng smiled with satisfaction. "You're a promising student!"

Sylvia learned quickly, and her gaming skills improved rapidly. In less than ten minutes, the words "The zombies ate your brains" appeared on the game screen, and Cheng Cheng lost this round.

"Hehe~"

Sylvia happily picked up a glass of chilled pineapple juice from the bedside table, tilted her head back and took a big gulp, swallowing it as a soft rosy blush rose to her cheeks.

"Is it good?" Cheng Cheng looked curiously at the bottle of refreshing-looking chilled pineapple juice.

"...It's a little astringent and a little salty."

As Sylvia spoke, she saw Cheng Cheng feigning a downcast look, chuckled, took another sip, held it in her mouth, and then fed it to him. After a long while, she spoke in a tone as if coaxing a child, "I thought you meant pineapple juice... This is homemade, how is it, is it good?"

"Mhm." Cheng Cheng nodded repeatedly.

"Shall we continue?" Sylvia pointed to the computer screen. "That was just normal mode... Now, how about we try a more exciting ranked mode?"

"it is good!"

Just as Cheng Cheng agreed, Freya emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, her body steaming. She looked at Sylvia with displeasure and said, "You've already played. It's my turn next!"

"I only played the normal mode!" Sylvia clearly didn't want to give in.

"I don't care! I gave you all time, it's my turn now!"

Freya kicked off her slippers and jumped onto the bed, chased Sylvia away with a pillow, then grabbed the phone, quickly opened the game, and planted a Peashooter.

"Don't rush... How about this?" Sylvia was clearly unconvinced and suddenly came up with an idea. "Look, although machine gunners have strong output, their burst damage is obviously insufficient, but they can be upgraded to sniper shooters—I mean, let's play with sniper rifles together first."

"Together?"

"Yeah, it doesn't say that this kind of game can only be played by one person."

“That makes sense.” Freya thought about it for a moment, then nodded and started playing with Sylvia.

"Hey, I said..."

Suddenly facing two opponents at once, Cheng Cheng was immediately overwhelmed. The plants he had just planted were devoured in an instant, while Freya and Sylvia were vying to control the computer, their frantic movements making Cheng Cheng laugh. He reached out and touched the horde of zombies controlled by Freya:

"The machine gunner can fire four peas at the same time, but it can't be planted directly. It has to be crafted from pea shooters—I mean, no matter how powerful it is, you have to do it one by one."

"……All right."

Freya pouted, thought for a moment, and then gave the opportunity to Sylvia: "Then you guys play first... I'll watch from the side."

Sylvia didn't stand on ceremony and immediately switched to ranked mode.

The formal mode made Cheng Cheng a little insecure. Looking at the plant encyclopedia selection page, he hesitated: "Um... can putting pumpkins on plants protect their health? Should I put them on?"

“No need.” Sylvia looked up and said gently, “The corn cannon can’t be put on a pumpkin—I mean, if it’s big enough, it doesn’t need a pumpkin cover.”

"Okay, shall we begin?"

"Okay, let's begin."

Although this wasn't Cheng Cheng's first time playing "Plants vs. Zombies," he had played it before with Bugu and Mu Zimi.

However, the situations were quite different. Cheng Cheng still couldn't figure out what Bu Gu was thinking and why she forced him to play games with her; while Mu Zimi was in the spiritual space at the time and chose to play together in order to defeat the World Honored One, which was beyond her control.

But now, he has a true spiritual connection with Sylvia and Freya.

Not to mention that the two of them had been holding back for 120,000 years, eagerly anticipating playing Plants vs. Zombies with Cheng Cheng, which put Cheng Cheng under a lot of pressure, fearing that his gaming skills weren't up to par.

"Cheng Cheng, you haven't played Plants vs. Zombies in ages, have you?"

Sylvia noticed something was wrong and bit her lip.

Cheng Cheng was taken aback: "How did you know?"

“Plants can block zombies, but they must be placed on the same path as the zombies, otherwise they won’t be within range.” Sylvia reached out and helped Cheng Cheng adjust the Peashooter’s path. “What I mean is, the grass must be aligned before placing the plants.”

"Oh... I'm sorry."

Cheng Cheng took a deep breath, just as he was about to enter the game, when he saw Sylvia gently reach out and hug him, as if she were holding a child, and say gently, "It's okay, Cheng Cheng, don't worry. It's like when the newspaper zombie appears, it's holding a newspaper, and when it's knocked away, it turns red, but if you look closely, you'll find that it's holding the newspaper upside down, so it can't understand it at all—what I mean is, its academic qualifications are very questionable and can't be verified at all."

"Ah."

Cheng Cheng nodded and officially entered the game.

But as soon as he entered the game, he saw Sylvia controlling a giant zombie attacking his base. He was shocked and pointed at the imp zombie that had entered the room from the back row, saying, "Oh no! The giant zombie will throw the imp behind it. If we don't handle it properly, the imp zombie will easily enter the room—I mean, wait, how come the imp just gets in after being thrown?"

"I've already said that the academic credentials obtained through reading newspapers are largely unreliable!"

Sylvia nervously opened her eyes, looked at Cheng Cheng, and pouted.

This game lasted a long time, with wave after wave of zombies repeatedly clashing with the plants Cheng Cheng had planted, filling the entire fog-of-war battlefield with thick smoke; Cheng Cheng had planted all kinds of plants in the central pool, but still couldn't withstand Sylvia's fierce water attack.

Finally, a dolphin zombie stormed into the house, and the words "The zombie ate your brain" appeared on the screen, ending the game.

Exhausted, Sylvia slowly sat up, but eventually collapsed back onto the bed, panting heavily.

Seeing Sylvia's hard work, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but sigh. He affectionately picked up the pineapple juice and fed it to the girl, then stroked her white hair and praised Sylvia for her excellent gaming skills, saying that playing Plants vs. Zombies with her was really fun.

Freya, being sensible, did not disturb them.

But Sylvia was also worried about Freya's mood. After recovering a bit from the game, she waved to Freya and said, "Alright, it's your turn. I'll watch!"

"Hehe~"

Freya rushed over, opened the game, but quickly frowned: "This... how..."

“Don’t rush me.” Cheng Cheng sighed. “Dr. Zombie King can’t be targeted when he stands up; he can only attack when he’s possessed—I mean, you have to wait for the doctor to stand up.”

"But I've been waiting for five minutes already, why haven't I seen anything yet..."

"After all, even with plenty of sunshine, it still takes time to plant a single pea," Cheng Cheng explained. "What I mean is, even if I have a huge stockpile of sunshine, I still have to wait for the CD..."

"I see..."

Freya, unwilling to wait, immediately hugged Cheng Cheng and kissed him fiercely.

This tactic worked. Cheng Cheng quickly gave in, took out his phone, and opened the game: "Okay, okay, that's enough. I can play now, alright?"

"Hehe~ That's more like it."

Freya quickly started the game and this time she directly led Cheng Cheng to play the endless mode.

Perhaps it was because her body was now more mature and energetic that Freya was able to kill Cheng Cheng without leaving a trace as soon as she made her move, leading a large wave of zombies!

Sylvia, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned!

Cheng Cheng was also taken aback by Freya's offensive, and had to pause the game every now and then before continuing.

Freya quickly went from being unaccustomed and unfamiliar with the game to becoming a master. She even taught Cheng Cheng based on her own experience: "In Endless Mode, offensive plants are always weak. You need to have good skills to make up for the disadvantage in output. So most players will add a few corn cannons. What I mean is, Cheng Cheng, don't just play at one frequency. You have to do a couple of powerful attacks in the middle."

Is that so?

Cheng Cheng tried firing the corn cannon and also planted two cherry bombs.

"Boom boom boom—!"

The violent explosion instantly wiped out a large group of zombies. Freya couldn't help but scream, then nodded: "Yes, that's how we fight!"

Cheng Cheng immediately felt that he had learned a lot.

But after a short while, Freya became dissatisfied again and pointed out, "The length of the Cactus-shroom can be manually adjusted, and you need to switch it frequently to hit the balloon zombie in the air—what I mean is, if you can't hit it like this, you have to go to the top."

"Are you sure?" Cheng Cheng was somewhat worried that Freya was becoming addicted to the game and harming her body and mind.

"Sure!"

"……OK then."

Cheng Cheng tried it, and it worked! He immediately stopped Freya's massive zombie attack and fought her to the death, a sight that horrified Sylvia!

"So, Cheng Cheng was letting me win all along..." Sylvia thought to herself, "If I were to play a game with Cheng Cheng in this state, I'd probably lose very quickly..."

"Sylvia, don't just stand there!" Freya suddenly said, "I'm so tired, I'm out of strength... help me push (the tower)!"

"Oh, here it comes!"

Sylvia quickly stepped in to help, and the two of them worked together to suppress Cheng Cheng's attack.

After playing for an unknown amount of time, the last wave of zombies was finally wiped out. Freya collapsed helplessly onto the bed and sighed, "...I lost."

"You're already amazing, really."

Cheng Cheng stepped forward and hugged Freya to comfort her, while Sylvia also came over with pineapple juice in her mouth to help her stay hydrated.

"So next..." Cheng Cheng hesitated for a moment, "Should I rest my eyes for a while? I'm going to take a shower..."

To everyone's surprise, the two women exclaimed in unison, "No!"

"Huh?"

"We agreed to play Endless Mode!" Freya opened the game with a grin. "If it's less than a year, a month, a day, or an hour, it doesn't count as Endless Mode!"

“Yes!” Sylvia nodded vigorously. “Twelve thousand years of longing and waiting…you have to play with us at least twelve times a day!”

"Besides, what if you go find someone else if we don't let you have a good time with us?"

"Yes, we must make sure he doesn't have time to look for anyone else for the next month!"

"I remember Li Xianyu and Mu Zimi are waiting outside right now? Should we call them...?"

"Let's talk about it next month!"

As they spoke, the two demons turned their heads at the same time, looking at Cheng Cheng with smiles: "Cheng Cheng, what do you say?"

Cheng Cheng: "..."

Cheng Cheng: "Will you survive?"
